Breaking News: Scott Steiner Finished With WWE

(From our own newsboard, at TPWW)

Scott Steiner has been cleared to the ring according to several sources close to the situation. However, the internal feeling within WWE is that the creative team does not have anything for him. While most people would argue the SmackDown roster could use the extra talent, WWE management apparently feel that he is too “fragile” for a long term push at this point.

Despite being healthy through most of his stint with WWE, there is a suspicion that Steiner’s body is just too banged up to depend on him for any major storyline. Expect WWE to let Steiner’s contract expire as it appears as if we have seen the last of him in WWE.

(Strike up the chorus!!!) :D :D :D

Na Na Na Na....

Na Na Na Na....

Hey Hey Hey...

GOOOOOODDDDBYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEE!!!! :D :D :D

Na Na Na Na....

Na Na Na Na....

Hey Hey Hey....

This is the most unrealible reporter out there who is reporting this for the record.

GOOOOOODDDDBYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEE!!!! :D :D :D

OH HAPPY DAYS!!!

I think we should throw a party!

Why do you hate Steiner, may I ask?

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: That's funny!!! :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Wait, you're serious? :shifty:

Answer him then.

Heh. Okay, because he sucks??? But I'm sure you'll want me to explain, so where do I begin?

Well, okay, for starters, he has no wrestling ability whatsoever. Oh wait. I'm wrong. He does a Belly-To-Belly Suplex. How could I forget that??? :roll: Sure, it's impressive, but it gets kind of old after seeing it hundreds of times.

I really think they should put him on Smackdown! and have him feud with John Cena, as a way of giveing Cena a victory against an established star. I mean it'd be nice to put guys over against a former WCW World Champion

this is a happy day

:wave:

So if it's old it sucks?

No, not at all. I just love watching the same thing over and over again. It's just so exciting.

So whats so wrong with seeing Steiner's suplex over and over again?

They're takin' their kept-up Goldberg anger out on Steiner. :shifty:

You must really hate finishers then.

No, that's not true. It's just I'm really excited by people who have a limited moveset. But hey, I should give him some credit. Remember his match at No Way Out? In 2003? Wasn't that awesome?!? :shifty:

So what's the difference between a Steiner belly to belly or a Kurt Angle one? Or 10 Benoit German suplexes? Or the same flying forearm into nip up Shawn Michaels does in every match?

Ever heard of signature moves?

Yeah, I hear ya. I can't get enough of RVD matches. Watching the Rolling Thunder and Five Star repeatedly every week for 3 years puts me on the edge of my seat.

Remember Ric Flair and Bret Hart using the same moveset for 15 years?

And well all know Rey Misterio is the best wrestler in the world today because he does more than 16 moves in a match (or does he?).

:lol:

I can't say the dude put on good matches during his stint, but if this is true, to be honest, I'm kinda disappointed. I thought he had a good image/character, and could have been used on SD. :-\ Ah well.

Well it was better than the RR match.

Of course I have, but are you honestly saying Scott Steiner is as good as Angle and Benoit? There was a time when Steiner was one of the greats, but now his time is up.

Did I say that?

You said one of the reasons Steiner sucks was because he keeps using the belly to belly suplex (you wrote it, not anyone else). I used what you said and turned it on you like anyone with half a brain trying to prove a point would.

Personally, I think Steiner is way past it. More to do with injuries than anything. I'm fairly sure a good worker could still get a good match out of him. Jericho did. I think he would be a fresh face for Smackdown and he has the charisma and buiid to get himself over.

Next time be careful what you write or read what others write.

No, but it seemed like you were implying it. My apologies.

And for record, you also mentioned his limited moveset. Everyone knows Ric Flair and Bret Hart made careers out of limited movesets in matches and they are two of the greatest to ever step in a ring. That doesn't mean Steiner is as good as them. It means limited movesets mean absolutely nothing outside of Playstaion games.

Flair and Bret have gone for 60 minutes (plus), and put on excellent matches. When was the last time Steiner did that? I would suggest it's been a long time. C'mon, the guy was a great talent at one time, but age and steroids don't mix well, and his run in the WWE has been absolutely pathetic. At this point he's basically a liability in the ring; if he doesn't injure himself he could well injure his opponent. Also, Flair and Bret have charisma, and had much more ability than Steiner does right now. Just my opinion.

For once, a potential firing that I'm NOT sad about! w00t!

Off the top of my head, I think Scott Steiner has done 60 minute broadways. For the record, when was the last time Bret Hart and Ric Flair did that? Again, definately not saying Steiner is in their league but you can't compare 10 years ago to today.

I'll tell you for an absolute fact right now that Scott Steiner has more ability than Bret Hart in the ring right now.

Stiener wasn't to bad really.

That's not a terrible idea, but they've had enough huge guys with limited skills on that show to last them a lifetime. Smackdown needs something but Steiner's not the answer.
